If I'm in the US and I'm picking a suspension, I'd trust the thousands of weekend warriors running.. oh Konis, Bilsteins, in numerous venues like autocross, DEs, time trials, w2w racing over the handful of JDMtastic drifters who think running a coilover from an obscure shop half way across the globe is a good idea and that a mountain road is a bonafide "proving ground" for their suspension of choice.
Yeah I'm not in it to be JDMtastic as you say, nor am I a drifter. I just don't want to by a crummy coilover. And I'm not made out of money and can't afford the great shit. I just want a good quality coilover for a somewhat reasonable price. That's also why I thought to make this fucking thread. To ask about their quality. And since this company makes one for my car, and have been in the racing industry for 15 years I thought I'd give them a shot.

I was kidding about the name, and the comments weren't directed at you. There was a very informative thread on koni/GC under Tech not long ago that you can find via search, and I'd consider them very reasonably priced and great quality. KTS and Stance are also good options, they're more plug-n-play than the Koni/GC, but I really wish I had manned up and gone the Koni/GC route instead KTS from the beginning. The KTS are good bang for the buck, but feel jittery on track compared to Konis and as a result I feel like I'm leaving some grip on the table.

My friend with the s14/Stance shares my sentiment. I don't think any of the popular choices will serve you wrong, though the Koni dampers are as good in real life as they appear on paper (imagine that, engineers and suspension experts do, in fact, know what they talk about). All 3 brands I named have a great reputation and support STATESIDE. I guess I'm on the counter JDM culture bandwagon since I want support near me that isn't sleeping when I'm awake... buuut I don't even know how to drift, so you should probably disregard my opinion anyway.
